Sound has always been more or less troublesome, at least for me on my machines. To start with No login sound on 11.2: None of my two machines get any login sound, just a quiet login. There are at least some sound booting openSUSE 11.1 or SLED 11 on these machines. 1) HP8710w (x86_64) mobile workstation 'yast2 sound' shows: sound card: 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller driver: snd-hda-intel Play Test sound: NO Pulse Audio Enabled 2) K7 i386 PC sound card: SB0312 Audigy LS driver: snd-ca0106 Play Test sound: YES Pulse Audio Enabled Sound Preferences on the Gnome Panel Speaker applet are set to: output volume: 75% else default Can someone tell me how to setup Login Sound (and more) correctly?

Hi! Could you try and see if the following helps (worked in my case):- Open the control-centre and click on startup-applications. In the list of items to start up you will see a ticked item called "Gnome Login Sound". Select that and click on edit, and in the pop-up dialog you will see a text-box for "command" which has the entry /usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play --id="desktop-login" --description="GNOME Login" at present. Change that to /usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play --id="login" --description="GNOME Login" and see if you now have sound while logging in. Of course you can try out the above command on the terminal to see if plays a sound first and then enter it there, that way you are sure that will work when you login too. Hope that helps. -- Atri -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-testing+help@opensuse.org

Yep, thank you - that worked immediately on both machines :) I just wonder, if this has been a known issue before the release, why it hasn't been fixed yet during 11.2 update? I think I have other sound (setup) problems too ( i.e. playback ordinary Audio CD). But I have to test a little more before I continue with this.
